Recipient of 2007-2008 Senate Good Green Deed Award

After three years of effort, the Priority bill to ban toxic flame retardants known as PBDEs was finally passed in 2007 – making Washington the first state in the nation to do so. As the Prime Sponsor of that bill each year, Senator Regala was instrumental in ensuring its passage. In 2008, her work on the bill to ban toxic toys achieved success as well.  Washington state has become a national leader on reducing toxins in people and the environment, and Senator Regala is one of the principal reasons for that.
